Bussmann KTN-R-80 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Bussmann KTN-R fuse work in a 480V panel?
No. The KTN-R LIMITRON is a 250 volt fuse, rated 250 Vac and 250 Vdc, so it is limited to 250 volt class circuits. For a 480 or 600 volt system you need the 600 volt equivalent, the Bussmann KTS-R LIMITRON, which is the same Class RK1 fast-acting construction at 600 V.
2) Will a KTN-R fuse fit my existing Class R rejection fuse clips?
Yes. The KTN-R is a Class RK1 fuse with the Class R rejection notch, so it drops into standard Class R rejection clips and into non-rejection Class H/K clips of the same amp range. At 80 A and up these are blade end x blade end (bolt-in style) fuses, not ferrule, so the holder must be the blade type.
3) Is the KTN-R a fast-acting or time-delay fuse, and can I use it ahead of a motor?
Fast-acting. The KTN-R LIMITRON has a single element with no time delay, so it will not ride through motor inrush and is not suited to motor branch circuit protection on its own. Use it for protecting non-inductive loads, panelboards, feeders and switchboards, or as short circuit protection where a separate overload relay handles the motor. For motor circuits, the dual-element time delay Class RK1 choice is the Bussmann LPN-RK at 250 V.
4) What amp ratings does the Bussmann KTN-R fast-acting fuse come in?
Five ratings are offered: 80 A (KTN-R-80), 100 A (KTN-R-100), 225 A (KTN-R-225), 500 A (KTN-R-500) and 600 A (KTN-R-600). Order by the full part number with the amp suffix, since the body size changes with the rating.
5) What is the interrupting rating of the Bussmann KTN-R?
200,000 A interrupting at 250 Vac, and 100,000 A at 250 Vdc. That AIC covers series rating and short circuit current withstand work on most 250 volt distribution equipment, and it is the number to compare against your available fault current at the fuse location.
6) What is the Bussmann KTN-R-500 body size for fitting into a disconnect?
The 500 A KTN-R measures 10.38 x 2.59 x 2.59 inches. Check that against the fuse bay clearance in your switch or panelboard before ordering, since the lower amp ratings in the series are physically smaller.
7) Does the KTN-R have a blown fuse indicator?
No. It is non-indicating, so there is no visual flag or pop-out pin to show an open element. Crews need to meter across the fuse or pull it to confirm, which matters if you are standardizing a facility where fast troubleshooting is the priority.
8) What is the KTN-R fuse body made of?
A melamine glass tube body with 70/30 brass end caps. That construction holds up to the thermal and mechanical stress of high fault clearing, and the brass caps give a low resistance connection at the clip or bolt.
